IMPROVEMENT IN CARBURETERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 142,545, datedSeptember 2, 1873; application filed June 3, 1873.

To all whom it may concern:

' Be it known that we, J AMEs F. and GEORGE E. LOCKWOOD, of Taylorville,in the county of Christian and State of Illinois, have invented certainnew and useful Improvements in Combined Carbureter and Gras-Generator;and We do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and eXactdescription of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in theart to which it pertains to make and use it, reference being had to theaccompanying drawings which form part of this specification.

Our invention relates to devices for 4generat- `ing and carbureting gas;and consists in certain modifications in the details, and `novelarrangement of parts, in the construction of gas generators andcarbureters, as herein shown and described.

In the accompanying drawing, forming a part of the speciication herein,Figure 1 is a vertical section of our improved gas carbureter andgenerator. Fig. 2 represents a governor or regulator which may be usedtherein.

In the drawing referred to, A designates the outer casing. B indicatesan upright cylinder stood on the bottom of casing, to which it isattached, said cylinder being closed at the top, and having theperforations c at its upper and lower extremities. bis an attachment tothe top of cylinder B, sloping outwardly from same, and causing the gas,as it leaves said cylinder, to-pass downward through thesawdust-'packing with which the easing is filled. a indicates thegovernor or regulator, in the form of an inverted cup, which has thepcrforations c.

The said regulator may be made asv represented in Fig. 2. A l

It is so constructed that it may rest on the bottom Without closing themouth of pipe g; and, in case of pressure caused by a sudden 110W ofgas, it rises, and, restraining the discharge of gas, causes it tocontinue steady at the burner.

d is the inlet-pipe for oil, which should lbe poured in till it reachesa point above iiow cock f. gis the inlet-pipe for gas or air, to be usedin generating gas. h indicates the gage or indicator, toshow the heightof oil within; and k the pipe through which the gas passes from themachine.

By the use of this device as a carbureter, the gas passing throughbecomes softer and milder, and a great saving is effected in thequant-ity consumed. Gas is also generated by forcing air into it.

In a gas generator or carbureter, the governor or regulator a, providedwith the apertures e, in combination with cylinder B, havingattachment?) relatively arranged within the lled casing, as shown anddescribed.

In testimony that we claim the foregoing We have hereunto set ourhandsthis 8th day of May, 1873. J. F. LOCK WOOD. G. E. LOCKWOOD.
